I'd break it into three categorites:

Transportation, Fitness, REcreation & Leisure. I'm not including racing as I never had any desire to do that.

Transportation. i used to bicycle to school all the way through college, and I used to ride to work a few days a week, that ended when I retired a few months ago. I still occasionally ride to the stores when I need a few small things.

Fitness. Probably the biggy for me. Its always been part of the fitness mix and has grown as I've gotten older (got to preserve those joints from jogging!). I also do stair climbing (I walk up while skipping a step then back down step-by-step, repeat until exhausted; great HIIT). Bicycling is probably the biggest here (aerobic) doing regular 20 mile rides, and occasionally a 30-40 mile ride.

Recreation & Leisure. PRimarly bicke touring, I now like to do credit-card tours and hub-spoke tours. HAven't done any in a few years due to the pandemic, so have to restart this.
